diary of a yankee girl living in the south

Snowballs: fluffy shaved ice and almost every flavored syrup you can imagine in every combination possible. Top it off with ice cream, whipped cream, caramel, chocolate and (my personal favorite) condensed milk.

These are not to be confused with the "snocones" we got in my yankee state whenever the carnival or circus came to town. Oh, no. These are gourmet. And they come in extra large sizes!

It seems that snowball stands aren't complete without an array of pickled items. The only thing pickled that I grew up eating was a pickle. But here pickled pig lips seem to be a fave. For some reason, I just can't work up the courage to taste this yummy looking treat. Then there are pickled pigs feet, pickled green beans, and even pickled eggs.

Love the new look! It totally fits you! Pickled pig lips are pretty weird! I think they eat a lot weirder things in the south. I can't think of any weird things that us northerners eat (but then again that's normal to me lol)

bahaha! oh girl, i feel ya! i'm from cali and have lived in sc for a little while now... i hear of people eating double deep fried pork rinds around here and it makes me want to puke. but pickled pig lips?! now that is really something.
